Props to fans in the east who hung in to watch this one.
Huge win when they needed it. Could (should?) have had points from all three games in California. Two of three made it a successful stretch. Doby earned his pay check and reduced the fans bulk purchase of tums this year. Arguably he could be the most important player in determining the B's fate for a PO spot. Rask can't carry the mail every night. Clamped down hard on the Kings in the third and got the offence from players who are paid to deliver it. Tough luck for Chalerik. His first will come much sooner than later. Has fit into the line up seamlessly.
Gained some valuable ground on the Leafs and Habs. Leafs/Rangers game was a goaltending clinic by Hank and Freddie. OT was electric. Habs doing some serious sole searching as they hear the horses closing hard on them. Our old friend Dougie was the difference maker in TB. Sweeny should send him a case of Sam Adams as a thank you - you know, just because.
Off to big D for what might be termed a trap game. No time for mental let downs when they drop in to say hi to Segy. Keep Marchy under a curfew with round the clock surveillance!
